Comment: I recently had much success using the carac treatment on my entire forehead and nose. I did not have any pain, just felt like a bad sunburn and the irration lasted just two weeks. The benefits have been huge. My face feels so soft now. And its a good feeling to know that many pre-cancer spots are gone. I would recommend to anyone.

Comment: My Doctor instructed me to use Carac for 2 weeks on my chest, mainly for the pre-cancerous areas. I lasted 5 days on it before I was ready to throw it in the trash. My chest is covered in pre cancerous lesions, so the cream definitely works, I just can't take the pain, burning, itching, swelling....it's driving me absolutely nuts....too much for me to handle, I don't know how anyone

Comment: This is a follow-up to my review of 4/21/14. My 2-week follow-up appt with my dermotologist went well. She was pleased with the results she observed on my face and said not to continue the treatment. She emphasized that the treatment would not prevent other actinic keratosis to develop so be sure to use sunscreen. I have another appt with her in 2 months. When I asked why the original spot didn

Comment:This is a follow-up to my review of 4/21/14. My 2-week follow-up appt with my dermotologist went well. She was pleased with the results she observed on my face and said not to continue the treatment. She emphasized that the treatment would not prevent other actinic keratosis to develop so be sure to use sunscreen. I have another appt with her in 2 months. When I asked why the original spot didn't seem to have the reaction as other areas of my face she said she could see it was "fuzzy", I guess indicating that the cream was effective. She also reminded me that with the biopsy she removed a portion of that spot. So all in all I am pleased with the treatment and the result. The cost.... in $$$, just let me sway yikes!

Comment:Three months ago I had my dermatologist examine a darkened area about the size of a nickel on my right cheek. It had become irritated with red scaly bumps. A biospy was done and report stated it was actinic keratosis...pre-cancerous. I have been using Carac on my entire face for 12 days now. The spot shows no signs of being affected by the treatment but other very tiny spots on my face have turned red in varying degrees. My follow-up appointnment is in 2 days. I'm curious as to what my dermoatoligist will say. Will report here about that afterward.Hide Full Comment
